Gasoline Advertisement???

Since when did Gamespot become a corporate tool and start advertising for gas companies? Gamespot has been my homepage of choice on my laptop for numerous years and upon launching my web browser I have been greeted with awesome stylized pages touting a new game or gaming event. I have watched Gamespot mature over the years and have looked forward to what new area of gaming they will enter into. Now, I'm greeted with a corporate advertisement to buy gas...??? I am fearful that Gamespot is now feeling the economic hardship of our economy and will now start to dilute their standards just to make money. While I am not ignorant and understand the bottom dollar I can not agree with the GIANT SPLASH PAGE to purchase a product that is in no way associated with games. While I will continue to visit Gamespot for the reviews I will have to change my homepage to a different site that doesn't disgust me. I wonder if this leap toward making money will influence game reviews and recommendations. After all, once you start to drink the koolaide it's all over.

How do you go nine years and only post twice?

LOL at people w/o adblock.

Anyone that complains about ads does not deserve to be on the internet.

AdBlock. Freaking use it.

Oh, and:

"Crikey, look at what we got here. It's a rare sighting of the ultimate lurker, said to appear only once every few years. This is absolutely incredible, isn't he a beaut?" :P

OP will get back to us in 2020
